Hi all,
As 2K developers have now seconded this GR, and the GR itself calls for
a suspension of a Delegate's decision, an immediate procedural vote is
called for if the decision is to stand while the GR process is followed,
as per 4.2.2 of the constitution.
Attached below is the draft ballot for this proceedural vote. Please
send comments to myself 24h before voting opens.
NB: This is a draft ballot. Voting is not yet open. The vote.debian.org
pages may not yet have been updated.
Thanks,
Neil

HOW TO VOTE
First, read the full text of the GR.
Do not erase anything between the lines below and do not change the
choice names.
In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1. Place a 2 in the
brackets next to your next choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or
larger than 3. Continue till you reach your last choice. You may skip
numbers. You may rank options equally (as long as all choices X you make
fall in the range 1<= X <= 3).
To vote "no, no matter what" rank "Further discussion" as more
desirable than the unacceptable choices, or You may rank the "Further
discussion" choice, and leave choices you consider unacceptable
blank. Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices. (Note: if the Further
Discussion choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other unranked
choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the Further
discussion choice by the voting software).
Then mail the ballot to: proc_newnm_immediate@vote.debian.org. Don't worry
about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that your
reply inserts. NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed (or PGP signed)
with your key that is in the Debian keyring. You may optionally encrypt
your ballot using the public key included below. Also, note that you can
get a fresh ballot any time by sending a mail to ballot@vote.debian.org
with the subject "proc_newnm_immediate"
